On February 4th the yearly Flying Stars shift position and a new feng shui year begins. Each year the Stars set up shop in a new direction and begin to influence the area of life associated with that direction either positively or in a more challenging way. What many people who follow Flying Stars don’t know is that there is a Flying Star ‘theme’ of the year, which adds another layer of influence to each direction and 2014 is no exception.

Unlike the calendar year the Flying Star year begins February 4, 2014 and this is where each of the 9 Flying Stars will position themselves and the areas of your life they will influence:

It’s that time again! The July Flying Stars move into place on the 7th until early August. Here is the outlook for the month:

Southeast – This direction can bring money and health obstacles. If you’re interested in getting a loan for a new car, home or other item the banks may not be as receptive to your request this month.

South – If you’ve been looking for a job, new clients or trying to increase sales to existing clients spend time in the south this month. This area is great for job hunters, sales people and entrepreneurs especially if you’re a woman.

Southwest – Arguments between mothers and sons and/or women and men in your place of business are more likely to occur in the SW area of your building this month.

West – This direction is wonderful for romance and fun. It can also be good for your finances. For more detailed information go here: July Flying Stars

Center – While the south is good for career the Stars in the Center gua are not. Try to avoid this area if possible.

East – The Flying Stars in the east can bring moodiness and cranky people – mainly other family members. This is another area that reminds us to keep a sense of humor this month which is not always easy to do with your own family.

Northeast – Once again this direction is a GREAT source of positive energy this month. If you’re interested in taking a class, finding a mentor or getting advice this is a great month to do it. For more detailed information and feng shui activations click here: July Flying Stars

North – This area is good for travel but can create health problems especially around water. If you go swimming or go on a trip where sanitary conditions aren’t the best make sure the water is clean before you swim in or drink it.

Northwest – This area is prone to arguments between men so if there are any men you work with or live with who don’t generally get along keep them out of the NW area of the building/home if you can.

The Flying Stars move into their new positions for the month on August 7 and will stay there until September 6, 2012. Here is your outlook for the month:

Southeast – This area is experiencing double negative energy this month as the Robbery/Violence Star meets the Disaster Star. The southeast is the area of money, wealth and banking which indicates more bad news about banks, financial firms and the stock and bond markets not to mention the economies around the world.

On an individual level your more prone to things like losing your wallet, accidentally leaving your wallet or purse somewhere or having money taken from you in a less than pleasant way.

South – Conflicts could arise at work with the Stars that sit here in August. This is particularly true for middle aged women and people in the fashion or entertainment industry. Expect more news about celebrity breakups or even seeing high profile people disagreeing publicly.

Southwest – This is another tough direction and brings conflicts over money to marriages, partnerships and other close partnership-type relationships. If you’re in business with someone you may find that money is tight this month or that you disagree on how to spend money you have in your business account. If you’re married or have a live-in roommate or significant other you share expenses with you may find someone isn’t holding up their end of the bill sharing which will definitely bring conflict this month.

East – This direction is one of the bright spots of the month. If you’ve been hoping to get a financial bonus or have a door of opportunity open up for you this month it could happen.

Center – This direction is good for windfalls, too. Alternatively, you could unexpectedly receive money you invested or loaned some time ago.
West – The west is a good area for general abundance and good fortune so spend as much time in the west area of your home this month as you can.
Northeast – The double Illness Star sits in the NE for the month so if you are prone to illness or have a chronic illness avoid this area if you can. Even if you are a healthy person the effects of the double Illness Star can affect you by leaving you feeling run down and tired mentally, emotionally and/or physically.

The double Illness Star can also mean that schools may have to cut their budgets due to unexpected loss of revenue.
North – The Relationship Star flies into the north which is good for making connections with people through your work.
Northwest – The double Robbery/Violence Star sits in the area of helpful people and travel. This energy can bring about more travel related accidents and even increases the chances of terrorist type activities around the world.

If you’re traveling at all this month the trip may well cost you more than you anticipated so bring extra cash.

Today there is a solar eclipse beginning at approximately 8 p.m. EDT. Solar eclipses bring new opportunities and change to the area of your astrology chart that is being eclipsed.

I don’t practice astrology but on a map of the world the eclipse will travel from the east gua to the NW gua which could mean that the areas where we see the greatest changes around the world will include family businesses, the family as a unit, government, travel, space, astronomy/astrology, health, prominent leaders (think Heads of State) and even history.

This is a great day to re-energize crystals you have in your home or office. Just put them in a bowl of water with sea salt for about 15 minutes, rinse them off and then put them in the sun for the day. Solar eclipses are ideally suited for super-charging your crystals so take advantage. The next opportunity won’t come until Nov. 13, 2012.

And since this day is packed with extra energy it’s also a great day to write down and meditate on any goals you have for your health, relationships, career, finances, living situation, etc.

Last but not least, if you would like to participate in the May 23-June 21 ’27 Days to Inner Peace’ program today is the last day to sign up. Although I have not listed this on the web page, as a result of the feedback from a number of surveys I received my focus is going to be two-fold: peace and prosperity. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

“I don’t quite know where to begin. This has been phenomenal and I am SO grateful, so very grateful for what you have done for & given to me.When I started this the Inner Peace Program I was in one of the darkest times in my life. I’m 54 years old, and I’ve had some dark times, but this was pretty intense, and was feeling hopeless. My mom passed away 1 1/2 years ago and I’ve spiraled downwards since then even though I was trying very hard not to. Life felt…..dark, full of despair and I was very lost, very negative and I am usually a very UP person and can see the positive in all situations. I had lost that.

As the program started everything unlike love was bubbling up & out!! However, the funny thing is as this was happening I actually started to “turn around” and lighten up IMMENSELY. The darkness and despair are GONE. I am looking forward to the rest of my life and I’m even having moments of joy which I have not had in a VERY long time. My relationships have become easy and I’m getting calls for work of all sorts so my finances are blossoming and I’m feeling a purpose in my life again.And….this is HUGE……..I don’t feel mad at God anymore. I feel more accepting of my life and others, I’m having more tolerance and quite frankly, I find myself laughing about life now.

I could go on and on Chriss. I am in a place that is completely 180 degrees from where I was when we started this and THAT IS A VERY GOOD THING. I plan on signing up for the next round of 27 days, whenever you are ready to do it again. I want to keep this going and I hope ultimately to share it with others as time goes on.

To me, it seems Chriss, like “Thank You” doesn’t even begin to touch on the depth of gratitude I have for this program. I’m ready to go on and live life again.

I look forward to the moments ahead again and I know it’s gonna be alright. Life is gonna be alright!! With much, much LOVE.”–Sheryl M., Anchorage, AK

You’re tired and just want to put your feet up for 5 minutes but…
–the dog wants to go out
–your kids need help with their homework
–dinner still has to be made (and by guess who)

And your list probably goes on from here, right?

Lots of us turn to feng shui to help us create a soothing home environment so that at the end of the day we can come home and relax.

But if your outer world is still making demands on you when you get home from work how are you supposed to unwind?

Certainly you could go to yoga or do meditation before coming home to center yourself. But do you have an extra hour to do that after work and still get home in time to do everything else that needs to be done?

Most people don’t and you probably don’t either.

On the surface, it would seem that the feng shui isn’t working the way it’s supposed to.

The truth is that feng shui is only part of the key to having tranquility in your life. It’s the environmental piece and it’s important.

The other important piece is how you feel inside — or your inner feng shui if you will.

When your environment is calm and supportive and you feel peaceful and centered inside you’ll see that it really doesn’t matter what else is going on outside of you … because you can handle it with ease and grace.

May 5 begins the new Flying Star month! Because feng shui works in cycles of 9 you could find that you feel the effects of the Flying Star changes as early as 9 days before the new month begins. This is why putting your Flying Star activations in place can be beneficial even before the Stars moving into their new directions each month.

Here is the outlook for May:

Southeast – If you’ve been interested in a financial makeover this is a good month to get one. The trick is that you will want to make sure that you or the person you’re hiring knows what they’re doing. Otherwise, things may not turn out too well for you.

South – A windfall that comes through your career is more likely this month, especially if you’re a woman, in the entertainment business or work with people who are famous in their industry (even if they’re not famous to the general person on the street). This windfall could come in the form of a bonus or promotion and would be a one time event. If you see an opportunity you want, now is the time to go after it.

Southwest – This area can be challenging for mother/son relationships. Keeping your sense of humor and listening will help greatly this month.

East – Family members may leave you feeling burned out, tired or emotionally/mentally drained this month. They are also more likely to look to your for advice (or you to them).

Center – It’s going to be easier to catch colds, the flu or be diagnosed with an illness unexpectedly now. If you’ve been feeling under the weather it’s a good month to get a check up.

West – This area can be stressful for marriages but it’s a good month to work out problems with your partner because the results will be long lasting. Now is a good time to make new friends and socialize through fun activities.

Northwest – Disagreements and lawsuits will increase, especially among world leaders and groups like the U.N., World Bank, IMF and other large, global institutions. Violence will escalate, too.

North – Jobs are likely to be lost this month and the jobs report will be dismal (again). Businesses are more likely to see revenues drop, especially those companies that are in industries like cruise line travel, beverage distribution and production and water related activities like shipping.

Northeast – A double Disaster/Transformation Star sits on religion and education now so the leg work you’ve been doing or issue you’ve had with regard to learning and/or religion will come to a head now. This can mean a graduation, changing of schools or religious affiliations, finishing that final term paper, quitting school/religion or even signing up for school or beginning a new religious or spiritual practice.

Because the NE is also the area related to big earth we could see an increase in volcanic activity or other earth related disaster. For some reason an image of a mountain trekking event gone bad comes to mind.

If you’re only familiar with Western Feng Shui you probably didn’t know you have a Kua (pronounced kwah) number.

In classical Chinese Feng Shui everyone has something called a Kua number. This number is based on your birthday and gender.

Kua numbers range from 1-9 and each of these numbers has specific beneficial feng shui directions and specific challenging feng shui directions. Kua number 5 is the only one that is divided into Male and Female because it represents the yin and yang energy in feng shui. You can find your Kua number by clicking here.
